  • Removable cartridge for PCMCIA card and ancillary storage drive
    Patent number: 6900983
    Abstract: A cartridge interface retains and couples a first information device, such as PCMCIA type card, with an internal connector of a host computer used in a rugged environment. It may also retain a second information device, such as a memory drive, separate from the first information device. The host computer has a cartridge insertion slot that guides the cartridge and a connector of the PCMCIA card into engagement with the computer's internal connector. The PCMCIA card is retained on the cartridge in a manner that prevents translation of the card relative to the cartridge during removal from the host computer.
    Type: Grant
